FILLER AFTERCARE
Juvederm filler works by adding volume to the facial tissue through its active ingredient of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body. It stimulates the production of the connective tissue that plumps the skin. As you get older, the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen decreases. This increases the appearance of sagging and wrinkling of the skin. Recovery time is minimal but it is important to follow some simple aftercare advice
